Fall for the Book, Sponsored by the Fairfax County Public Library.
Readers who have ever wished they could live inside their favorite books will love New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn’s latest novel, The Astral Library. Alix Watson takes refuge from her barren life in the fantasy books of the Boston Public Library, where she meets the Librarian, a mysterious guardian who helps people escape into their favorite books. When a menacing enemy appears, Alix and the Librarian run through the Regency era of Jane Austen, the threatening streets of Sherlock Holmes, and the moral decay of Gatsby’s world. Author Sarah Penner says, “With a cheeky heroine you’ll root for from page one, this is bound to be one of the biggest books of the year.” Quinn is also the author of numerous historical fiction novels, including The Briar Club, The Alice Network, The Rose Code, The Diamond Eye, and more. Sponsored by the Fairfax County Public Library.
